A New Life
|
September 13, 1943 |
Produced by The Playwrights' Company and written and staged by Elmer Rice. Nightclub singer Edith Charles (Betty Field) marries Captain Robert Cleghorne (George Lambert), scion to a wealthy Arizona family, after a short and wild romance. After Captain Cleghorne disappears at sea, Edith gives birth to his son at the exact moment of the Captain's unexpected return. A battle ensues between Edith and The Captain's family when they seek to remove the son back to Arizona for a privilaged upbringing, ultimately failing. The play was roundly panned by critics and went on to 70 performances. |
